The first sequence rule is subtract 8 starting from 72. The second sequence rule is subtract 6 starting from 58. What is the first number that appears in both sequences? Question 2 options:

16

40

46

52

A) 16

Step-by-step explanation:

1st sequence: 72-8x

2nd sequence: 58-6x

Set both sequences equal to each other and solve for x:

72-8x=58-6x

14-8x=-6x

14=2x

7=x

x=7

Plug x=7 back into the equation:

72-8(7)=58-6(7)

72-56=58-42

16=16

So the first number that appears in both sequences is 16.

for this pair of functions g(x)=x-2 and f(x)=|x| is (g o f)(a)= |a| -2

step-by-step explanation:

g(x)=x-2

f(x)=|x|

(g o f)(a)=?

(g o f)(x)=g(f(x))

(g o f)(x)=g(|x|)

(g o f)(x)=|x|-2

(g o f)(a)=|a|-2

answer: bearing in mind that a rectangle has a perimeter of length + length + width + width.

step-by-step explanation:

p = perimeter

l = length

x=width

p = 2l + 2x

p = 2(l+x)     < ==== perimeter of the base of the box.
